I live in Central Illinois with seven cats. When I think of this I always hear "As I was walking to St. Ives" in my mind I studied anthropology and veterinary medicine at the University of Illinois, but am equally proud of completing the Master Naturalist training for my area in 2015. I am not currently working and spend my days volunteering through the Master Naturalist program, learning guitar--very slowly, making Pagan prayer beads, and feeding opossums and squirrels in my back yard.
